Long-tailed Duck on Mammoth Lake, Watermead South.
Sometimes, the BHGs were indifferent, at times they took issue, as in the second clip.
What a great bird!

It is. Wow! Moonlight is amazing too👏

😅 re the birds
😤 re the idiot humans as always

Hopefully just the Signal Crayfish that I watch Attenborough gulls and ducks feast on 🙏

Nottinghamshire’s native white‑clawed crayfish have had quite a year, from rescues to new Ark site investigations. 🦐💚
Want to know what happened and what’s planned next?

What a sweet creature. I didn't know we had a native crayfish species.

I could believe it regarding the lyrics, judging by some that were shared in the film.

We had a Reverend song when we got married and a Massive Attack. And Genesis 🫣😅

That is amazing !! 💔

Maybe she didn't want to be interviewed? It would be rubbish if she wasn't asked

Simone's too 💜

I noticed the mention of Beale St. I think I saw a film with that in the title...
Goodness! I just clocked what you said 😳

Saw it this evening. I think I would usually head to the CatFeets & Astroman chat to say I hadn't realised that JB had a place in Memphis and that he died in the Wolf River. But now is really not the time 😕😪

The birds/birding/twitching gave me back the will to live, at a time when I'd lost it.
I so wish that people would learn to love nature & care for it. Instead of using & abusing it. We are better when we realise that we are part of nature 💚

That is incredible !! 👏🤩
🥰

Aww, amazing to hear about that, you meeting your other half, I mean.
Maybe life saving isn't such a wrong word for the impact it can have on our lives 🙏

Amazing to read that the focus it brings has been a massive positive to others, too.
Not life saving, but something like that.

Hopeful ☺️

I'd always loved nature 💚

It is good for that in my experience. I got into it big time for my own similar sounding reasons.

I started and ran almost straight into lockdown too

Didn't like some of the human behaviour (not the birds) I was seeing 😅

I've already blathered on elsewhere about my race against time life list building. I slowed down but still got to 400 in under 5 years.
Then, I drew a line more than 2 years ago as I didn't like some of the stuff I was seeing.
I'm really looking forward to a few lifers this year after a break 🙏

I fancy that film 💔

This looks great & I thought it might interest you too

Depending on where you live, I guess a fraction smaller than a European Robin or a Song Sparrow 🤎

Ooh a Ring-billed Gull! 🤍
I love returners. Tho I've only experienced that myself with the Casp at Attenborough. I've twitched a few, tho. All gulls come to think of it. The Oare Marshes Bonaparte's, the Scotland RB Gull, the Eagle Pond Casp in London.
Sad to miss an old friend 🥺💔

I had my lifer in 2019. Then I think it was 2020 when there were a few in Norfolk. And none since 🥺
I think someone had one a couple of years back on their trailcam 💙

Brilliant 👏

Gosh that is heavenly 😍 💙
